Five Star Gift Ideas

For a daughter who loves exploring and hiking in national parks, there are several gift ideas that can make her outdoor adventures even more enjoyable and memorable. Here are a few suggestions:

1. National Park Pass: Consider getting her an annual pass to the National Parks. This pass will grant her access to over 2,000 federal recreation sites, including national parks, wildlife refuges, and more. It will allow her to explore and hike in different parks throughout the year without worrying about entry fees.

2. Hiking Gear: Help enhance her hiking experience with some high-quality hiking gear. Consider gifting her a sturdy and comfortable backpack, a pair of waterproof hiking boots, a reliable headlamp, or a compact and lightweight hammock for her resting breaks during long hikes.

3. Trail Map or Guidebook: Inspire her next explorations by getting her a detailed trail map or guidebook of her favorite national park or a collection of various parks. This will provide her with valuable information about trail difficulty, points of interest, flora and fauna, and more. It can also serve as a keepsake to reminisce about her adventures.

4. Outdoor Camera or Binoculars: Encourage her to capture and document her outdoor experiences with a high-quality camera. Look for a durable and waterproof camera that can withstand the ruggedness of the wilderness. If she is also interested in birdwatching or wildlife observation, a pair of binoculars with good magnification would be an excellent choice.

5. Camping Equipment: If she enjoys camping during her national park visits, consider upgrading her camping equipment. Look for a reliable and lightweight tent, a cozy sleeping bag suitable for different climates, a portable camping stove, or a camping hammock with a mosquito net.

6. Nature-inspired Jewelry: For a more personal and sentimental gift, consider nature-inspired jewelry. Look for jewelry that symbolizes hiking, mountains, or forests, such as a pendant shaped like a mountain peak, a delicate leaf necklace, or a bracelet with a compass charm. These pieces can serve as a constant reminder of her love for the outdoors.

7. Outdoor Cooking Accessories: For those moments of campsite cooking, surprise her with some handy outdoor cooking accessories. Consider getting her a portable camping cookware set, a compact and efficient camping stove, or even a guidebook on outdoor cooking with creative and delicious campfire recipes.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects her passion and shows that you pay attention to her interests. By choosing something related to her love for exploring and hiking in national parks, you'll be giving her a thoughtful and meaningful gift that will enhance her outdoor adventures for years to come.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
